An Understated Dominance - Chapter 494

Dustin just smirked, clearly enjoying the situation.

Autumn, frustrated, snapped, “Are you done? If that’s all you have to say, then just leave. You’re a nuisance.” He waved his hand dismissively at Dustin.

“You-” Autumn was about to argue when Spring raised his hand to interrupt. “Hold on! Torben started this mess, so he should apologize.”

“Spring!” Autumn frowned deeply. “Have you forgotten what Dad said?” Spring shot him a annoyed look.

“I…” Autumn clenched his teeth but stayed silent.

Spring nodded. “Torben, you need to apologize to the person you hurt. Let’s end this.”

“I… I’m sorry,” Torben managed to say, struggling as he lay on the stretcher. He knew he had to follow orders to rest and heal properly.

“Are you happy now, kid?” Autumn glared at Dustin.

“No,” Dustin replied, shaking his head. “That wasn’t sincere enough. I want him to kneel.”

“Don’t push your luck!” Autumn snapped back. They had already humiliated themselves by apologizing in public. Kneeling was too much to ask.

“Kneel!” Spring suddenly raised his voice, surprising everyone.

Autumn’s eyes widened in shock. “Spring?”

“Someone help Torben get on his knees,” Spring said firmly. Autumn just wanted to finish this quickly.

A few people picked Torben off the stretcher and dropped him on the ground, forcing him onto his knees. The movement hurt his wounds, and he cried out in pain. Autumn glared at Dustin, furious but unable to say anything.

Spring calmly asked, “Dustin, is that enough?”

“One more thing,” Dustin replied, shaking his head.

“What is it?” Spring asked, ready for anything. Instead of answering, Dustin just smiled, clearly enjoying the chaos around him.

Dustin looked at Abigail and said, “Kid, this is the guy who hurt your dad. He’s right here in front of you. It’s time for you to get your revenge.”

Abigail didn’t say anything, but she shot a fierce glare at Torben, her eyes filled with anger.

Dustin encouraged her, “Let it out. Use that anger you’re feeling now.”

Slowly, Abigail’s hand turned into a fist, and she felt a surge of energy inside her. But after a moment, she relaxed her fingers.

Autumn watched with pride. “At least you know your place,” she said. “No one messes with the Hill family. If you touch my boy—”

Before she could finish, a loud slap echoed in the room. Abigail had struck Torben hard across the face. She had put all her strength into it, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Autumn was shocked.

Patrick was shocked.

Mike was shocked.

Nina was also shocked.

Everyone stood frozen, their faces showing disbelief. Nobody had expected Abigail to actually hit Torben, especially not in public.
